In the three years following the 18th CPC National Congress in 2012, President Xi Jinping mentioned the term “Community of Common Destiny” 62 times to describe China’s relations with other countries, especially its neighbors.
But the first time this concept was officially presented to the international community was at the UN Headquarters in New York two years ago, when the Chinese president delivered a keynote speech on the term, extending it to all mankind.
The idea is that all countries are linked to each other by common challenges, such as climate change, the need for sustainable development and the fight against terrorism. It’s a core part of China's new diplomatic strategy. By emphasizing community and a shared fate, the concept aims for a peaceful and stable environment for China and the rest of the world.
